  • PONNANI PEPPER PROJECT History Ponnani Is Popularly Known As “The Mecca of Kerala”
    PONNANI PEPPER PROJECT HISTORY Ponnani is popularly known as “the Mecca of Kerala”. As an ancient harbour city, it was a major trading hub in the Malabar region, the northernmost end of the state. There are many tales that try to explain how the place got its name. According to one, the prominent Brahmin family of Azhvancherry Thambrakkal once held sway over the land. During their heydays, they offered ponnu aana [elephants made of gold] to the temples, and this gave the land the name “Ponnani”. According to another, due to trade, ponnu [gold] from the Arab lands reached India for the first time at this place, and thus caused it to be named “Ponnani”. It is believed that a place that is referred to as “Tyndis” in the Greek book titled Periplus of the Erythraean Sea is Ponnani. However historians have not been able to establish the exact location of Tyndis beyond doubt. Nor has any archaeological evidence been recovered to confirm this belief. Politically too, Ponnani had great importance in the past. The Zamorins (rulers of Calicut) considered Ponnani as their second headquarters. When Tipu Sultan invaded Kerala in 1766, Ponnani was annexed to the Mysore kingdom. Later when the British colonized the land, Ponnani came under the Bombay Province for a brief interval of time. Still later, it was annexed Malabar and was considered part of the Madras Province for one-and-a-half centuries. Until 1861, Ponnani was the headquarters of Koottanad taluk, and with the formation of the state of Kerala in 1956, it became a taluk in Palakkad district.

II || April 2021 || PP 08-11 Theatrical Performativity of Ritualistic Music: An Embellishment of Rhythmic Ensemble Kellikottu Thomas Joe Research Scholar, Department of Theatre, Sree Sankaracharya Universiy of Sanskrit, Kalady --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Submission: 20-03-2021 Date of Acceptance: 04-04-2021 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. INTRODUCTION Can we imagine that there will be people who are not interested in percussion tones. Rhythm is a law of the universe. If we examine the movements of our universe, we know that they all have a rhythmic movement. We can understand that musical instruments and arts are originated in the ancient period. If we look for the origin of these, we come to the time of primitive man. The creatures and birds always express their joy and happiness in dance. The peacock is always conscious of his beauty. Rhythm is the central point of every item, poetry, music, or dance and the human gets it by nature. A special raga is played for charming the snakes. Art is a performance that is closely related to sow a foundation of a culture. PERFORMANCE IN RITUAL Anything can be a performance, the way you use it the way you treat it. Believing yourself as an actor, performer, or laborer anything else makes you the same during the work. Religious belief is a reality in our society. The ritual performance of a community, the festivals, and celebrations happening in the spiritual space are all cultural beliefs and are certain reasons for the development of society.
